ORIGINAL_ARTICLEIn vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of some Lamiaceae speciesThe methanolic extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols of six plants were investigated for their total phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities: Mentha piperita (Peppermint), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and Salvia officinalis (sage) (Lamiaceae). Total phenolic contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu procedure and ranged from 111.03 ± 0.6 (sage methanolic extract) to 19.07 ± 0.0 mg (basil methanolic extract) gallic acid equivalent /g extract. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by two methods, DPPH and phosphomolybdenum assays. The decoction of rosemary showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC 50 = 8.36 μg/mL). The methanolic extract of Peppermint showed the highest total antioxidant activity (241.85 ± 1.9 mg ascorbic acid equivalent /g extract) measured by phosphomolybdenum assay. The antimicrobial activities of herbs were tested against eight bacteria and two yeasts. http://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1529_a25cd2f632d65a8d4ad1771673b16d92.pdf2013-03-01T11:23:202018-08-15T11:23:201910.22099/ijsts.2013.1529antimicrobial activityantioxidant activityDPPHLamiaceaephenolicsSevilAlbayraksalbayrak@erciyes.edu.trtrue1Department of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyDepartment of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyDepartment of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyLEAD_AUTHORAhmetAksoysevilalba@gmail.comtrue2Department of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyDepartment of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyDepartment of Biology, Science Faculty, Erciyes University, 38039 Kayseri,TurkeyAUTHORSongulAlbayraktrue3Ulubey Vocational College, Ordu University, 52850 Ordu, TurkeyUlubey Vocational College, Ordu University, 52850 Ordu, TurkeyUlubey Vocational College, Ordu University, 52850 Ordu, TurkeyAUTHOROsmanSagdicosagdic@yildiz.edu.trtrue4Department of Food Engineering, Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Faculty,

As a result of subduction magmatism, Oligo-Miocene leucogranitoid rocks have intruded into conglomerates of lower Cretaceous age. Due to contact metamorphism the following mineral assemblage has occurred in the altered conglomerate: Garnet (andradite-grossular) + epidote+ quartz + calcite + pyrite Skarnification have only occurred in reactive carbonate clasts of the conglomerates. Chemical composition of garnets and classic discrimination scheme imply the porphyry copper related skarn-type mineralization. Garnets are characterized by abrupt chemical zoning area and thin bands. REE pattern of skarn garnet and host granite have similar trends, so it is concluded that garnets are hydrothermal in origin. The garnet mineralization episode occurred during skarnification, giving hydrothermal fluid temperatures of 422-472 ºC, likely this episode corresponds to the fluid boiling and high fO2 of garnet forming processes in the skarn system. Probably, the temporal decrease of hydrothermal fluid pressure led to rapid growths of andradite zones i.e., extensive hydrofracturing, porosity of conglomerate could be the dominant conditions which led to boiling of hydrothermal fluids and precipitation of andradite garnet. http://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1530_c63e0484a7f0f676d7f3bec8461ee45b.pdf2013-03-01T11:23:202018-08-15T11:23:20112210.22099/ijsts.2013.1530Garnetskarncopper deposithydrothermal fluidsB.Taghipourtaghipour@shirazu.ac.irtrue1Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranDepartment of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranDepartment of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranLEAD_AUTHORF.Mooretrue2Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranDepartment of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranDepartment of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Shiraz University, Shiraz, IranAUTHORM.

The buildup factors were then calculated for various combinations of water and lead layers at some gamma ray energy points in the range from 0.04 MeV to 10 MeV and for shield thicknesses from 1 to 10 mean free paths (mfp). From the results obtained, one can select the proper (or optimum) water and lead combination which results in minimum value of buildup factor for a two-layer water-lead shield of a given thickness (in mfp) at each energy point. Here the optimization analysis has been performed for a shield of 10 mfp thick at gamma ray energies from 0.04 MeV to 10 MeV.http://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1534_0efba051d402694fa071892d688e992b.pdf2013-03-01T11:23:202018-08-15T11:23:20293410.22099/ijsts.2013.1534Stratified shieldsMonte Carlo simulationbuildup factorsbremsstrahlung radiationA.Shiranishirani@cc.iut.ac.irtrue1Department of Physics, Isfahan University of Technology (IUT)

First, the similarity transformation is applied to obtain parameterized controllers. This requires solution of a system of equations and also some non-linear inequalities. GAs are used to solve these equations and inequalities. Therefore, the paper presents an analytical method for finding parameterized controllers and employs a numerical method to enhance the solution. Three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method and to compare the results with previous results.http://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1535_069b44987586d009558ec13e90ebff2b.pdf2013-03-01T11:23:202018-08-15T11:23:20354310.22099/ijsts.2013.1535Linear SystemsGenetic Algorithmssimultaneous controlOptimizationeigenvalue assignmentF.Saadatjootrue1Department of Computer Engineering, Institute for Higher Education of ACECR, Yazd, IranDepartment of Computer Engineering, Institute for Higher Education of ACECR, Yazd, IranDepartment of Computer Engineering, Institute for Higher Education of ACECR, Yazd, IranLEAD_AUTHORV.Derhamitrue2Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Yazd University, Yazd, IranDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Yazd University, Yazd, IranDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Yazd University, Yazd, IranAUTHORS.

(Solanaceae)The study aimed to investigate the microsporogenesis, tapetum and pollen development in Petunia hybrida Juss.under control and air pollution condition. The connective shows a well-developed placentoid, giving thesporogenous tissue a crescent-shape. The sporogenous tissue of each of the four anther locules is surrounded bydimorphic tapetum. The outer (towards the epidermis) and inner (towards the connective) tapetal layers differ inshape, staining intensity and degree of vacuolization. During microsporogenesis and pollen maturation, thetapetum undergoes several changes and ultimately degenerates after pollen mitosis. The tapetum is the secretorytype. Microsporogenesis with simultaneous cytokinesis forms tetrahedral tetrads of microspores. Mature pollengrains are prolate, tricolporate/tricolporoidate with furrows disposed along the polar axis and three lowlydeveloped pores with striate-reticulate sculpture. Under air pollution, microsporogenesis was normal till tetradstage. After this stage, some tetrahedral tetrads were still present and some pollen grains were irregular shaped,shrunk and fragile. Some tapetal cells were smaller and the number of their nuclei was less compared to those ofthe control. Cellular material release was higher in polluted pollen. SDS-PAGE pattern in polluted pollen did notshow significant difference compared to the control.http://ijsts.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1538_d6b09182523df059f96601f90a588c63.pdf2013-03-01T11:23:202018-08-15T11:23:20636810.22099/ijsts.2013.1538Airborne particulate material (APM)connectivemicrosporogenesisprotein bandsTapetumF.Rezanejadfrezanejad@uk.ac.irtrue1Department of Biology, Shahid Bahounar University, Kerman, IranDepartment of Biology, Shahid Bahounar University, Kerman, IranDepartment of Biology, Shahid Bahounar University, Kerman, IranLEAD_AUTHORORIGINAL_ARTICLEGeometrical Categories of Generalized Lie Groups and Lie Group-GroupoidsIn this paper we construct the category of coverings of fundamental generalized Lie group-groupoid associatedwith a connected generalized Lie group.

In addition, the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) techniqueusing twenty-three primers was performed to investigate the DNA polymorphism of bacteria that were affected bythe synthetic chemical drug. Among these, only 18 primers were found efficient for reproducible banding pattern.Disappearance or appearance of bands between controls and treatments confirm rearrangements and DNAdamages in the priming binding sites of bacterial genome.
